Yeah, if anything the TOS ships are more realistic in regard to their interfaces. In an emergency, when you may not have lights or gravity or whatever, buttons and knobs come with certainty. Flat, featureless touchscreens? Not so much.

isn't political violence our main export?
i hate that smooth-rectangle has become the standard
stop it with the extra cameras and the beveled edges, i'd give up half my screen space for some real goddamn buttons
i feel like the answer to what is and isn't canon can be summed up with;
Why do the klingons look different?
They always looked like that, you just didn't notice before.
Canon has always been squishy. The Eugenics Wars takes place in the nineteen-nineties... oh but didn't Voyager's crew visit our nineties? Plus, DISCO had that Elon Musk name drop.
...so the timeline floats up as the present day does. Canon is just a vague sense of the things everyone agrees on.
Personally,
I really dislike the fungus engine. You expect me to believe the Federation developed instant, consequence free warp but gave up on using it on literally any other ship? Silly. Very silly. Oh, but the precursor civilization doing a galaxy wide Genesis project is somehow an unimaginable technological feat.
And yes, I know STE covers the klingon flu. I just think They always looked like that was more elegant.
If i were gonna write the Borg going forward, I'd have the queens be a failed experiment to elevate one drone to the role of tactician specifically to deal with the Federation. It didn't work, so they don't do it anymore.
huh, reminds me of Hillary's campaign aiding Trump during the republican primaries
Yeah, Trump himself has no policy commitments. He'll say whatever he thinks is popular biased on the last thing he's seen on television. In office, he delivers bog-standard republican policy because that's who his cabinet gets filled with.
I don't see Biden changing his stance on arming Israel. Trump could, but the question is whether would it last long enough to actually affect policy.
Season 5, Episode 13 For The Uniform
He does this to a Maquis settlement after they had similarly poisoned two Cardassian planets.
the special effects are really impressive, it's worth checking out
Pretty much. Secular education tends to begin with Columbus sailing across the Atlantic and seldom ventures north or south of our boarders -- let alone touch on the rest of the planet until World War 2, after which a lot of curriculums just end. Elective courses are better... which is why nearly every year at least one of the states try to ban them.
Most of our protestant schooling likes to make special note of the fact that people fled here to escape religious persecution, that this or that sect wouldn't be possible without American Freedoms™. Hell, Mormon scripture straight up says the US is a promised holy land.
We’ve never built nuclear. We not only need a reactor, buy need to buy all the relevant skills and build all the supports to create an industry.
Oh, that does change the calculation quite a bit. I wonder if this push has more to do with those submarines than any energy considerations.
excited to see how the thorium rock-salt reactors progress
